OVERVIEW
Two hills, one shared view
Bukit Merese and Bukit Seger sit on opposite sides of Tanjung Aan, both grassy headlands looking out over the same stretch of coast, and both firmly established as the go-to sunset spots for anyone based in Kuta. They're often visited as a pair on the same evening, or chosen between depending on how much time or energy you've got.
Merese is the bigger, more famous of the two, a genuine 360-degree panorama that takes in Tanjung Aan's bay on one side and the open ocean on the other, with Batu Payung, a large rock formation shaped like a face, visible further along (though it partially collapsed in recent years). Seger is the quicker option, smaller and lower, with views over Kuta Beach and Serenting Beach, and the Litus Sunset Bar sits right at the top for anyone who wants a drink with the view rather than just the grass to sit on.
